Eugenie Bouchard signs up to play Transylvania Open in Cluj

Eugenie Bouchard has signed up to play at the Transylvania Open in Cluj soon as the WTA 250 event runs from October 8th till October 16th.

The event will be a very strong one as more than 30 players from the WTA 100 signed up to play at the event and Bouchard will play with them. She's not ranked inside the top 100 but got a wild card into the qualifying draw where she will have a chance to book a spot in the main draw.

Transylvania Open tournament director Patrick Ciorcila said:
